Let $R$ be a Gorenstein local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ satisfying $\mathfrak{m}^3=0\ne\mathfrak{m}^2$. Set $k=R/\mathfrak{m}$ and $e=\text{rank}_{k}(\mathfrak{m}/\mathfrak{m}^2)$. If $e>2$ and $M$, $N$ are finitely generated…

We compute low-dimensional K-groups of certain rings associated with the study of the Hermite ring conjecture. This includes a monoid ring whose low-dimensional K-groups were recently computed by Krishna and Sarwar in the case where the…

An irreducible module for the parafermion vertex operator algebra $K(\mathfrak{sl}_2,k)$ is said to be of $\sigma$-type if an automorphism of the fusion algebra of $K(\mathfrak{sl}_2,k)$ of order $k$ is trivial on it. For any integer $k \ge…

We show a new neutral-fermionic presentation of Ikeda-Naruse's $K$-theoretic $Q$-functions, which represent a Schubert class in the $K$-theory of coherent sheaves on the Lagrangian Grassmannian. Our presentation provides a simple…

In this brief note we show that for a field extension $K/F$, $S=K[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$ is a free $R=F[\![\mathbf{x}]\!]$-module precisely when $K/F$ is finite. We then raise the question \emph{what is the projective dimension of $S$?}

We study scalar quantum field theory on a compact manifold. The free theory is defined in terms of functional integrals. For positive mass it is shown to have the Markov property in the sense of Nelson. This property is used to establish a…

We provide an explicit computation of the topological $K$-theory groups $K_*(C_r^*(\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/m))$ of semidirect products of the form $\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}Z/m$ with $m$ square-free. We want to highlight the…

We use pullbacks of rings to realize the submonoids $M$ of $(\N_0\cup\{\infty\})^k$ which are the set of solutions of a finite system of linear diophantine inequalities as the monoid of isomorphism classes of countably generated projective…

We construct classes in the motivic cohomology of certain 1-parameter families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric Fano n-folds, with applications to local mirror symmetry (growth of genus 0 instanton numbers) and inhomogeneous…

We classify quadratic SL(2,K)- and sl(2,K)-modules by crude computation, generalizing in the first case a Theorem proved independently by F.-G. Timmesfeld and S. Smith. The paper is the first of a series dealing with linearization results…

For a generic class of rational functions, we give an explicit description of the flat structure on the Riemann sphere induced by a meromorphic 1-form R(z)dz, where R is a rational function. The rational functions in the generic class we…

In this article, we prove the algebraic counterpart of the topological results $H^1(S^1, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$ and $H^1(S^2, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \{0\}$. We also see that a non-trivial element of the algebraic cohomotopy groups of…

We study the algebraic $K$-theory of the ring of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space with values in a local division ring, e.g., a local field: We compute its negative $K$-theory and show its $K$-regularity. The complex case…

We study the structure of the Kauffman algebra of a surface with parameter equal to sqrt(-1). We obtain an interpretation of this algebra as an algebra of parallel transport operators acting on sections of a line bundle over the moduli…

We construct an infinite set of conserved tensor currents of rank $2n$, $n=1,2,\dots$, in the two-dimensional theory of free massive fermions, which are bilinear in the fermionic fields. The one-point functions of these currents on the…

In this paper we study algebras of modular forms on unitary groups of signature $(n,1)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebra of unitary modular forms to be free in terms of the modular Jacobian. As a corollary we…

This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…

In this paper we construct a noncommutative space of ``pointed Drinfeld modules'' that generalizes to the case of function fields the noncommutative spaces of commensurability classes of Q-lattices. It extends the usual moduli spaces of…

We consider rational power series over an alphabet $\Sigma$ with coefficients in a ordered commutative semiring $K$ and characterize them as the free ordered $K$-semialgebras in various classes of ordered $K$-semialgebras equipped with a…

We study several integrable Hamiltonian systems on the moduli spaces of meromorphic functions on Riemann surfaces (the Riemann sphere, a cylinder and a torus). The action-angle variables and the separated variables (in Sklyanin's sense) are…
